OIL DIVIDEND NAY AIDSTEWART FIGHT $443,000,000 Melon Soen as Goup Over Rockeleller Chicago, Feb. § (UP)—The psy- chological effect of a $443,000,000 dividend voted by the directorate of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana may prove a determining factor in the proxy fight between Colonel Robert W. Stewart and the Rockefeller in- tereats for control of the billion dol- lar oil company. . Angouncement of the division of $115,000,000 of surplus earnings in the form'of a 50 per cent stock dividend and a cash dividend of 50 centp & share on the increased capi- talization, as well as the regular guarterly dividend of 66 1-2 cents, was’seen as a dramatic move by Stewart to obtain proxies for . his reelection as chairman of the board. The action came within a month of the annual meeting of stockhold- |ers at Whithing, Ind. March 17, which promises to eclimax one of the greatest and most picturesque finan- clal struggle in recent years. Effective For Stewart Observers agreed that Stewart had effected a clever coup in announcing the melon on the last day allowed for the transfer of stock of the com- pany for veting in the annual elec- tion. Despite the fact that the 4.- 675,000 new shares created by the stock dividend cannot be 'voted, the impressiveness of the directorate’s report undoubtedly will work in favor of Stewart. Stewa: z that the *“melon” was declared for the purpose of influencing steckholders but the reaction it was admitted may see an extensive change in previously signed proxies and result in a swing to the present management. The 58,000 stockholders of Indiana Stan have been divided between the cial accomplishments of the dominant westerner and his young- er opponent, John R. Rockefeller, Jr, who has demanded Stewart's ouster for moral and ethical reasons, namely in connection with the Con- |tinental Trading Co. deals. Large eastern stockholders, whose ancestors cast their fortunes with John D. Rockefeller, 8r., in the formation of the standard compan. fes, have been understood to be sup- porting the meral battle being waged against Stewart by the younger ‘Rockaleller ‘The aged wizard, John | D. 8r., himself, has com t of we. clusion to announce that he is sup- porting the policies of his son.
